In fact, writers responded to the railroads as<br /> soon as the first were built in the 1830's. By the 1850's, the railroad was a major presence in the life of the<br /> nation. Writers such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau saw the railroad both as a boon to<br /> democracy and as an object of suspicion. The railroad could be and was a despoiler of nature; furthermore, in<br /> its manifestation of speed and noise, it might be a despoiler of human nature as well. By the 1850's and<br /> 1860's, there was a great distrust among writer and intellectuals of the rapid industrialization of which the<br /> railroad was a leading force. Deeply philosophical historians such as Henry Adams lamented the role that the<br /> new frenzy for business was playing in eroding traditional values. A distrust of industry and business<br /> continued among writers throughout the rest of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth.<br /> For the most part, the literature in which the railroad plays an important role belong to popular culture rather<br /> than to the realm of serious art. One thinks of melodramas, boys' books, thrillers, romances, and the like rather<br /> than novels of the first rank. In the railroads' prime years, between 1890 and 1920, there were a few<br /> individuals in the United States, most of them with solid railroading experience behind them, who made a<br /> profession of writing about railroading-works offering the ambience of stations, yards, and locomotive cabs.<br /> These writers, who can genuinely be said to have created a genre, the "railroad novel." are now mostly<br /> forgotten, their names having faded from memory. But anyone who takes the time to consult their fertile<br /> writings will still find a treasure trove of information about the place of the railroad in the lift of the United<br /> States.<br /> Question 14: With which of the following topics is the passage mainly concerned?<br /> A.
